Subject: Eliminate the correct response bonus
X-Git-Url: https://git.cworth.org/git?p=mnemon;a=commitdiff_plain;h=a6ba5c83f3b9f07411c5e281488ced3b354d2b53;hp=698b08fa45715b2d24f311c041f3858decbd21d6;ds=sidebyside

Eliminate the correct response bonus

As questions get missed repeatedly, they get asked more frequently, to
the point where it is likely to get asked consecutively. At this point,
there really isn't any learning going on, so it's better to give it a
single increment in the count, (leaving it negative), instead of
moving it all the way to +1.
